Most of the population has experienced at one time or another. The fact that you experience it so often, combined with your complaints of memory loss and difficulty concentrating leads me to believe you either have a definite lack of sleep or even a sleep disorder, like apnea. However, uncontrolled muscle twitch, confusion, and speech problems are also possible side effects of Seroquel. Seroquel can also cause high blood sugar in some patients, which leads to increased thirst and urination.The Ativan can also cause mental fog or confusion. There's probably a 0.000009% chance that you are developing multiple sclerosis, and 99.999991% chance you need to talk to your doctor about the side effects of your medications and possibly alter your dose.
